The Road

The winding, binding, turning, yearning,
Road.
The never ending, construction Ridden,
Forbidden
Road.
Who knew the wondrous blend of rock and tar could contain so much power over us.
No one dares take one step off the slab.
We only stay in the limits of what we know,
Not daring to find out what great new place could be just beyond.
It didn't used to be that way
What brings us here?
Back from the old carefree days when it didn't matter...
Conformity
Or is it just curiosity,
of why so many before have followed these never ending paths,
that connect us
bind us
to each other.

Continuation

I decided that I actually kinda liked creative writing and want to continue to write. These are rusty because its been a while and I dont have a prompt to spark an idea, but im trying and its a little bit fun :D

Moment For Life

On the brink of imagination there's a water fall
Not the normal kind you see in the mountains
It's not like that at all,
Staring down into this fountain I relive the happy smiles of Yesterday,
Here I am in this place
Where the dust of age blows away.
Now I realize there's no need to race,
For the mirror of reality is broken.
And I'm here,
for a moment.

My Story

This is me.  I have a name but for now, it's just me.  I am 20 years old and going to college in the small town I like to call New York. I was born and raised here in this city, so I'm used to the everyday comings and goings of the people around me.  Sometimes I feel numb.  Go through the motions and find myself in exactly the spot I expected I would end up.  But today. Today was different.  Something inside of me must have just flipped because here I am inside an airplane waiting to take off to who knows where.  A few minutes ago I was buying a ticket on the next available flight and this is where it got me. I have no plan just going with the flow waiting to start something different.

Where is "me" going?
Will he/she turn around and go home?
Who is ME?

Shake the Dust

This is for the friend who's always there for you when you need them the most.
The stuggling student trying to balance school and friends
for the varsity basketball player who shattered their shoulder right before the big game
For the dreamer who reaches for the stars only to be pulled down agian.
This is for the boy putting on a smile only to hold back the tears.
the sisters who try to help their older brothers see how important they are when they cant see it in themselves.
This is for those elementary days when the thing that mattered wasnt where you came from but if you could do the monkey bars.
For all of the unspoken hellos when its just too hard,
Shake the dust there's always something to reach for.
This is for the angry, the happy, the ones scared to show their true emotion.
This is for the ones who keep going and they dont know why.
So shake the dust
Shake it and Shake it, then shake it some more
Shake it to worlds without end,
Till your arms get tired,
Shake it that hard because sometimes it feels better,
because sometimes when you dont know what else to do,
it just feels good to shake the dust and let it go.

Ghandi's Inspiration...

There is something About the Morning.
When your eyes first open and you see the soft sunlight entering your room.
You hear the calm river outside and the birds chirping in the distance.
If its an especially good day you will even smell the familiar scent of bacon coming from downstairs.
When you wake up like that what could go wrong.
Its a new beginning, you have a whole day waiting and its just begun.
Energy is waiting to explode from you, and it almost seems as if that moment when we will own ourselves completely has arrived.
Nothing can upset me and I keep forgetting to put reality on my to do list.
I love that moment and as the day comes to an end...
Tonight is not the last time I'll see the light, because tomorrow it will be morning Again.

Jealousy or Admiration

I Guess you could call it jealousy, but to me that sounds to harsh, I would rather call it admiration.  One of the poems that I chose was We Real Cool, By: Gwendolyn Brooks....

We real cool. We
Left School. We
lurk Late. We
Strike straight.  We
Sing sin.  We
Thin gin.
We jazz June.
We Die soon.

At this point you are probably thinking, "are you for REAL?!" the answer is Yes.  At first this poem looks dumb and stupid it might be because we all can relate to it in the simplest way.  Maybe it is because we know exactly who these people are, or in fact we could be this type of person.  What I love about it is that it has the power of Simplicity.  The Author was able to get their message across in just a few lines and that is what I admire.

My Complaints

I'm tired of believe people when you know everything is a lie.  I'm tired of being told who I am. I'm tired of being the only one who helps out.  I'm tired of being ignored.  I'm tired of the rush.  I'm tired of making decisions.  I'm tired of not being on the beach.  I'm tired of feeling like someone else stuck in this place.  I'm tired of these people.  I'm tired of wearing jeans.  I'm tired of being pushed around.  I'm tired of not knowing what to do.  I'm tired of the rules.  I'm tired of routine.  I'm tired of waiting.  Maybe tomorrow I wont be so tired.

Love Is...

Love is that wrenching black hole in  your gut.
Love is coal being refined into gold.
Love is giving up everything you have just so someone can have something.
Love is knowing you made it to the top of the hill without stopping.
Love is the fastest roller coaster, once you get off you cant wait to get back on again.
Love is that breakfast food smiley face on a rainy day.
Love is waiting for something when you don't know if its coming.
Love is saying it out loud.

The Places I Would Go.....

If I were a spec I could go anywhere in the world. Why a spec you ask well a spec can just float up there, around in the vast nothingness of the world.  I would go to the tallest peak, to the deepest sea, to the middle of no-where. I would be swallowed and spit out by a giant sea turtle just because.  I would roll with Kid Cudi, take a ride in a Bugatti, and just sing with my buddy.  There would be no worries of then, now, or soon.  No pressure just me and my tunes. I would go to the pyramids of Egypt, chill with old King Tut. I would listen to people from everywhere with out being noticed.  I would go everywhere and no-where to see where I've I been.  If I were a spec.

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams....

I walk Alone    I walk Alone
Im stuck in these gray places
There's no way to see where Im going or where I've been
The walls are caving in
The people here have Abandonment written on their faces.
I walk Alone     I walk Alone
The whispered Someday's still hang in the air
Its hard to keep my head on straight
I've been given too much on my plate
Sometimes the confusion is too much to Bear.
I walk Alone    I walk Alone
Across my path blows a tumbleweed
Shattered glass covers the ground
A preserved building is yet to be found
I hope to never come back to this place....I plead.

Im Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you like the moon thinks about the sun.  I'm thinking about you like sand thinks about the ocean.  Like seniors think about graduation.  Like clouds think about rain. I'm thinking about you like cars think about speed.  I'm thinking about you like inmates think about escape.  Like players think about winning.  Like the dark thinks about the light.  I'm thinking about you like chalk thinks about the sidewalk.  I'm thinking about you like black and white think about color.  Like boats think about floating.  I'm thinking about you like sad thinks about happy.  I'm thinking about you like wind thinks about blowing.  Like roosters think about crowing.  Like music thinks about flowing.  I'm always thinking about you.

Direct Orders To....

Rock out like you just got a new song and you have listened to it 5 times in a row because you love it!

Rock out like you have someone to play in the rain with

Rock out like your strutting your new kicks

Rock out like you feel as if you could run forever and not get tired

Rock out like your mom has cancer and they just found the cure so she doesn’t have to suffer anymore

Rock out like its happy hour at Starbucks

Rock out like feel as if nothing could go wrong

Rock out like nothing can stop you

Rock out like that moment when you play a sick drum beat and it just flows

Rock out like you and your buds are going on a road trip across America with no parental supervision

Rock out like you don’t care what other people think of you

Rock out like you just found a new friend

Rock out like the sun comes out and it’s finally spring after a long winter

Rock out like that time when you can’t stop smiling and you don’t know why

Rock out like its Thursday but you had the best day ever and things are just going to keep getting better because tomorrow is Friday

Rock out like everything’s gonna be alright!!

The Beginning

Because I am writing anonymously I decided to choose Bruce Wayne as my name because he also hides behind a mask.  Another factor in that decision is that Batman has always been my favorite super hero.  I have tried blogging once before but didn't really feel a purpose for it.  Hopefully this time around it will be different.  Somethings about me one might want to know are that I really like fall and spring, there is this excitement in the air preparing for the next thing coming and it rocks!  My favorite food would have to be classified as Breakfast Foods.  My favorite type of movies are action films.  Well that's all I can think of for now.
